How did I missed this? Archie marries Valerie



Archie and Valerie sitting in a tree, they got married and now there are 3. This came out a while ago, how did I miss this?

In the Archie tale, he marries Josie and Pussycats' Valerie. But that's not all. Read Archie CEO Jon Goldwater's statement:

“To us, this is just another chance to tell a great story. The fans want more Archie/Valerie – they ask about it at shows and everywhere we go. Like we did with the best-selling LIFE WITH ARCHIE, where Archie marries Veronica and Betty, we thought it’d be interesting to show a future where Archie marries Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats and the life they lead together.

I can’t really speak to whatever issues some people might have with them getting married or having a child. Like Kevin Keller’s wedding – it’s not an issue in Riverdale. Riverdale welcomes everyone and always will. For us, it’s about telling a great story involving two wonderful characters and how they interact. The fans have asked for it and we’re making it happen.”

Cool beans.
